Styling links & h1/h2 links respectively

Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of work.

ooooh, thanks for the suggestion, firebug seems like a powerful little add-on.

Give it a few days and you’ll start to wonder how you managed without it. ??

Awesome I hope so!!..

So I have installed firebug, and I have it open. I’ve seen kinda how it works, putting a little window on the bottom and that you can switch between views of the html or the css of the page. but how would you suggest.. or what kind of tip could you offer me to get me going in the right direction to figure out how I am going to apply firebug for my purpose here? Or is there thorough documentation that I should just go ahead and read to figure this out? … and also, it will be okay to make changes to the code through this device? It will have the proper authorization to make changes? (this thing doesn’t let you change other peoples websites code does it? that would be crazy, I’m thinking not, but just had to ask)

okay, so maybe i can jump in here with what I think would be the way to go about this, now that I’ve done some further investigating, and maybe you can let me know if I’m on the right track.

I found an option within the program called inspect element. I then was able to grab the div with the suspect H2 link I am trying to modify. I was able to see what the div id and class were labeled. So I could take the ID name and write a custom rule in my themes css like #divid h2, a:link {
css property;
}

Am i getting warm here at all? to play things safe I’m assuming it’d be best to add this change through the wordpress dash as usual.

You’re more than getting warm. You’re spot on! I’m not sure how the Vina theme works and it it has any custom CSS options but, if not, just modify the main stylesheet as usual. Just be aware that, if you update the theme, you’ll lose your customisations.

cool man. I was checking it out earlier and tested a couple writing a couple rules, but to no avail yet. But I’m sure I’ll figure it out with another sit down, and investigation. I’ll update how things go one way or the other. Thank you!

Hey I got it to work, took me a minute to realize it, but I was able to write the code easily by just selecting the element and looking at the tag path. firebug is an invaluable tool, thanks for sharing!! And for the help.
